BurnBot

Proud to partner with California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) San Benito Unit on their latest prescribed burn project! Our #RX2 remote blackline machines helped minimize smoke impact on local residents while effectively helping to manage invasive species. This #GoodFire collaboration demonstrates how innovative tools can support fire agencies in achieving their prescribed burn goals. BurnBot is proud to support CalFire and its initiatives to expand California's prescribed fire capacity one acre at a time. Funding for this project provided by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection’s Business and Workforce Development Grants.

Fresh from the field: Our latest project in Central California shows how our tools can help scale up prescribed burning! The BurnBot RX is designed to work alongside agencies and landowners, expanding our collective capacity to put good fire on the ground. When innovative technology meets local expertise, we can treat more acres safely and efficiently. Together with our partners, we're building a more fire-resilient future.

Proud to see BurnBot's impact on forest health management highlighted in a recent Reno Gazette-Journal op-ed by Tahoe Fund's leadership. Our remote-operated masticators completed a 22-acre treatment in Incline in just three days, demonstrating the efficiency of innovative forestry solutions. Looking forward to introducing additional technologies this spring to enable safer, smoke-free controlled burns with extended operational windows! Thank you to Tahoe Fund for the partnership and recognition in advancing forest health treatments in the Tahoe Basin. We're grateful to be part of creating more resilient communities.

Have you been rethinking wildfire prevention? We have. New research by Dr. Christopher Hakkenberg and colleagues at Northern Arizona University reveals why we need to change our approach. Published on https://hubs.ly/Q02-nxRy0, here are the key takeaways: -Traditional Approach May Not Be Enough: While total biomass and canopy height matter, these factors become less reliable predictors of fire severity in extreme conditions (steep slopes, high winds). -Ladder Fuels Are the Critical Factor: The study found that ladder fuels (vegetation between ground and tree canopies) consistently predicted wildfire severity across ALL conditions - making them the most reliable indicator of fire risk. -Less Can Be More: Forests with sparse understories showed lower severity levels regardless of conditions, suggesting targeted understory management could be more effective than removing entire forest canopies. At BurnBot, we're already incorporating these findings into our fuels management solutions. Want to protect your land using the latest science? Let's connect.

Introducing a better way to conduct prescribed burns - the BurnBot RX2 This innovative system represents a new chapter in fire management. Watch as it creates precise fire lines without smoke. What sets it apart? The ability to operate in almost any weather condition, offering new possibilities for critical fire management operations. Watch it in action! https://hubs.ly/Q02ZvBss0 #FireSafety #Innovation #WildfirePrevention #DefensibleSpace

This is what meaningful change looks like in Central Oregon! Over the past few days, our crews have worked to create defensible space around several properties through strategic fuels reduction. We removed dense undergrowth, thinned overcrowded trees, and cleared dead vegetation while maintaining the natural beauty of the landscape. The result? A safer space that: -Creates a buffer zone between structures and potential wildfire -Gives firefighters a better chance to protect homes -Maintains healthy forest conditions -Preserves Central Oregon's stunning views Building a defensible space isn't just about protecting individual properties – it's about safeguarding entire communities and building a more fire-resilient community.

🔥 Fact Friday! Did you know? Forest fires now burn TWICE as much tree cover globally compared to 20 years ago, with a 5.4% increase in burned area each year since 2001! But here's the good news: Smart fire management can help! While we can't prevent all fires, we can create more fire-resistant landscapes and reduce the risk of catastrophic wildfires. Every acre tells a story, and BurnBot is dedicated to helping write the next chapter in reducing catastrophic wildfires through scaled, strategic fuels treatments.
